Product Manager II

Cox Communications•Atlanta, GA

About The Position

Every vehicle that changes hands across the vehicle lifecycle depends on one thing above all: knowing who’s on the other side of the transaction. As a Product Manager II on the Vehicle Custody team, you’ll own the ongoing direction and maintenance of our Identity Verification (IDV) solution — the layer that confirms the identity across every digital vehicle release, transfer, and pickup. You won’t just manage a backlog. You’ll help define how identity is verified at scale — evaluating authentication methods, fraud and risk signals, and how IDV integrates into Secure Vehicle Transfer and other custody workflows — while directly reducing fraud exposure and friction for the people moving vehicles every day.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in a related field and 2 years of experience; or a master’s degree and up to 2 years of experience; or 6 years of experience in a related field with no degree
Foundational skills in managing multiple priorities, requirements analysis, and technology integration
Ability to leverage customer feedback, data, fraud and risk signals, and user experience insights to identify product opportunities and enhancements
Comfortable working cross-functionally — able to build relationships and coordinate effectively with security, fraud, engineering, UX, and operations partners
Familiarity with SAFe Agile methodology
High integrity; focused on execution, building partnerships, and striving for excellence in everything you ship
Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship
You’re a Product Manager who is curious, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating where security, fraud, and user experience intersect. You ask good questions, take feedback well, and are motivated by seeing your work reduce real risk and friction. You understand that Identity Verification sits at the center of trust in Vehicle Custody — and you use that context to help shape direction, not just execute against it.
